Etymology

[edit]

muste (ink) +‎ kala (fish), calque of Swedish bläckfisk (octopus).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈmusteˣˌkɑlɑ/, [ˈmus̠te̞k̚ˌkɑ̝lɑ̝]
  • Rhymes: -ɑlɑ
  • Syllabification(key): mus‧te‧ka‧la

Noun

[edit]

mustekala

  1. Any of the coleoid species, which form the taxonomic subclass Coleoidea; including e.g.octopus, squid (calamari), cuttlefish.
  2. bungee (elastic fabric-bound strap with a hook at each end)
  3. British Bulldog, octopus tag (children's game in which on every turn players run from one end of a the playfield to another, with an in-field player tagging players which then become stationary taggers themselves)

Usage notes

[edit]

“Inkfish” usually denotes “cuttlefish” in English, whereas its Finnish calque mustekala refers to any animal in the subclass Coleoidea, within which the Sepiida are an order. These terms are thus false friends.
